1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: Wow, what is up? Welcome to another edition of the

2
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's me your man, NAMG. Marcus

3
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: Grands still fully vaccinated, still dodging variants like neo in

4
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: the matrix. As always, we are joined by a producer,

5
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: Justin and the specialists. That's a cast of dozens that

6
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: helps us put this show together. But just as importantly,

7
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: the man in the box to my I guess right left,

8
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,319
Speaker 1: I can know I get all turned around from like

9
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: little dirty little secret. For those of you who watched

10
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: the streaming show that we do from home, Uh, the

11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: boxes as they're situated or opposite of the way it looks.

12
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: I know it's confusing. What I'm saying is Mike Florio

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: is here with me. That was a long roundabout way

14
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: to introduce you, Florio. But the happy Monday. Uh. Are

15
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: any of your fantasy team still fully functioning and healthy

16
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: after this past week? Uh? Fully functioning? Yes? I have

17
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: one team that I don't have lot of injuries on,

18
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: which sounds great until um I tell you that I

19
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: make the wrong starting lineup decision each week like a

20
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: bench Chase Claypool last week started him this week. It's

21
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: just it's been it's been going wrong there. But yeah,

22
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: so many injuries right now, so many injuries, and then

23
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: to make it worse. Uh. This week is by mcgeddon,

24
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: and I'm sure we'll we'll probably dive into that more

25
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: on Wednesday show. Um, but you know, in fact, I

26
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: saw friend of the program Scott Pianowski. He does great

27
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 1: work over at Yahoo. He tweeted this morning, Uh, this

28
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: week your team was all injured. Next week your team

29
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: is all on a by so um, good luck to

30
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: everybody out there. Of course, we're here to try to

31
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: help you through it, try to help you along. We'll

32
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: recap what happened this past week. We'll also ask which

33
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: big name receivers should you consider trading away. I will

34
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: get you ready for by mcgeddon, as I mentioned, with

35
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: some waiver wire picks, and we preview the Bills and

36
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:02,919
Speaker 1: Titans on Monday Night Football. Let's start with some fantasy

37
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: headlines and we will begin with a trade. It actually happened.

38
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: I I had sort of given up on it. Zach

39
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: Ertz gets traded to the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals, not

40
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: long before making that deal, had lost tight end Max

41
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: Williams for the season with an injury. UM. I had

42
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 1: written in my weekly sleeper's column, I had zach Ertz

43
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: as a sleeper, and I think I started the paragraph with, well,

44
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: it looks like zach Ertz isn't gonna get moved. UM,

45
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: and that take aged like hot milk or like milk

46
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: I should say, in a hot car. Uh, sitting on

47
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 1: the dashboard. But he is in Arizona now. So now

48
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 1: that that's happened, Um, does he have tighten one potential

49
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season. I think he has tightened.

50
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: I mean there's like nine usable tight ends, so after that, yeah,

51
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 1: I think he definitely is in the mix of tight

52
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: ends who could round out the top twelve. Uh. The

53
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: only thing I think with zach Ertz um and this

54
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: trade markets it didn't just confuse you, like it broke

55
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: some fantasy apps out there and a lot of people

56
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: having issues like what to do with zach Ertz this week.

57
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: That's from what he did in in the game on

58
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: Thursday night. Should be with counts. But I think, um,

59
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: it's worth practicing patients with Art's Like, I don't know

60
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: if I'd want to start him next week out of

61
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: the gate his first game in this offense, I kind

62
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: of want to see him get acclimated and be used,

63
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: and then once he is, then I think he is

64
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: in the tight end one discussion. I think he's a

65
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: better player than Max Williams, who was surprisingly Fantasy relevant

66
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: this year. Um, they will use four wideouts, but I

67
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: think Art's will be in play there, and I think

68
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: Dallas Godard is a big winner as well, because I

69
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: don't think enough people realize Arts is consistently out targeted

70
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: Godard the last month in every game. So with our

71
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: Earth's out of town now, that makes Godard a clear

72
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: top two targets in that Philly passing game, and I

73
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: think he is a tight end one moving forward for sure. Yeah.

74
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: I think that's that's maybe the biggest part is that

75
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: we sort of get Dallas Goddard back in our lives

76
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: after he was kind of splitting those opportunities with zach Ertz.

77
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: I do think there's potential for Earth's I think you're right,

78
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: it may take a couple of weeks um, although I

79
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: will I will tell you that I wouldn't be surprised

80
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: if you see him in lineups this week. Is just

81
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: because people may need a tight ending and he's as

82
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: good option as there is out there. But you want

83
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: to talk about an embarrassment of riches in that Arizona

84
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: passing game. We'll dig into some of their wide receivers,

85
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: but you've got four really good wide receivers. Now you've

86
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: added a tight end, you've got a couple of running

87
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: backs who have been productive. Um, it is just more

88
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: reason to love Kyler Murray in case you didn't already,

89
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: and if you didn't, I don't really know where you've been.

90
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: But h yeah, I think I think zach Ertz is

91
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: going to be a guy that that is going to

92
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: help some managers along. I'm not gonna say he's a

93
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: league winner because I don't. I don't think that's the case.

94
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: But hey, the more tight ends we can get, the better, right.

95
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: I feel like that's that's always good news. Um, not

96
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: good news down in Carolina. This is what happened over

97
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: the weekend, and we didn't get a chance to get

98
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: to it, but we're getting to it now. Christian McCaffrey

99
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: placed on injured reserve, still dealing with that nagging hamstring injury.

100
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: And this, I mean the simple question, Florias, are we

101
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: starting to fear that this is going to be a

102
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: repeat of what we saw last year, where it was

103
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: always seeming like McCaffrey was close to coming back and

104
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: just when we got excited, uh, he was gone again.

105
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: We are we worried about this maybe a little bit,

106
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: because he was practicing leading into Week five, and remember

107
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: they were like, oh, there's a chance he could suit

108
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: up this week, and we were like, oh, wow, he's

109
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: only gonna miss one game. Then they didn't and we

110
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: were like, Okay, they're practicing caution here. We're cool with

111
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: that because it gives him an extra week to rest

112
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: and then we could get him at a dent back

113
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: in our lineups in Week six, and then all of

114
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: a sudden he's on I R, which tells me that

115
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: at practice he likely suffered a setback and reaggravated that injury,

116
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: so it's gonna take longer to heal. It's frustrating for sure.

117
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: I think you after seeing what happened last year, you

118
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: have to be a little concerned. But last year was

119
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: a bunch of different injuries, Like he had the hamstring,

120
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: then it was a high ankle. Uh, then it was

121
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: a shoulder. So I think it is still a little

122
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: bit different from last year and I know it could

123
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: be risky markets, but I am practicing, like going out

124
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: and trying to trade for him. I haven't been able

125
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: to pull it off in a league yet, But if

126
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: there's someone out there with CMC who's two and four

127
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: or something like that and starting to freak out, and

128
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: you have a winning record, I think you try to

129
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: get CMC because he had. The next couple of weeks

130
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: might be tough, but if he is back and anywhere

131
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: close to add percent down the stretch and in the

132
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: fantasy playoffs, that alone could win you with championship. Because

133
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,679
Speaker 1: I still believe when healthy, he is the best player

134
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: in fantasy football. I have no doubt about that. It's just,

135
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: you know, I know for a lot of people, the

136
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 1: waiting is the hardest part I have. You know, I

137
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: have a fielded questions from people who are either being

138
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: offered CMC or trying to trade him away just because

139
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: I think they're sort of worried and tired of waiting.

140
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: It is a really tough spot to be in. I'm

141
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: in a league where I have McCaffrey and I haven't

142
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: out about making the move yet, but I am getting

143
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: auntsy trying to figure out how to fill that gap

144
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: on a week to week basis, I would say this true.

145
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: But Hubbard has been okay. Um, he hasn't had the

146
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: huge big game as highest score was actually yesterday against

147
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: the Vikings. He give you thirteen and a half Fantasy points.

148
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: So it hasn't quite been as good as Mike Davis was. Um,

149
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: but you know he's not. He's not bottoming out on you.

150
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: I guess is there sort of the other side of it.

151
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: So um, it's it's frustrating yet again. And we talked

152
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: about this last week on the show. So at this point,

153
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: after two years of this, I have a hard time

154
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: thinking McCaffrey is going to be the consensus number one

155
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: overall pick next year. I do not think he'll be consensus.

156
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: I think that he'll be in the discussion still like,

157
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: oh should he go number one overall? But I am

158
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: right as of right now, I can't tell you that

159
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a consensus. I think it might be

160
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: one of those years where there's like three or four

161
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: names and you kind of just have to take your pick.

162
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: I probably agree with that. Derrick Henry is gonna be

163
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: in that mix. McCaffrey will be in that mix. What

164
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook maybe uh in that mix as well. He

165
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: could be in there yet possibly as well. So Uh,

166
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: there you go. Um. One other piece of news that

167
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: happened this morning. Kareem Hunt. He just says it's likely

168
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: going on injured reserve. He was carried off with a

169
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: calf injury in the fourth quarter of their loss to

170
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. Uh. This was in a game where

171
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: they were already missing Nick Chubb with an injury. Now

172
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: it looks like for at least the next three weeks

173
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: they probably won't have Kareem Hunt there. I mean, I

174
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: guess the easy answer is, is there anybody Dearnest Johnson,

175
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: Dimtrick Felton, Is there anybody in that backfield the that

176
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: you like without the Hunt and potentially chubbed next week?

177
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: I think both of those backs should be added off

178
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: the waiver wire. My preference as of now is the

179
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: Ernest Johnson because I think Dearness Johnson is more built

180
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: to be a lead back. And the Browns play on

181
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: Thursday night, it is a quick turnaround for them. This

182
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: is a game, like you said, they might be without

183
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: Chubb and Hunt and their quarterback needs to keep his

184
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: left arm pinned to his body to be able to

185
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: throw right now, So I anticipate a lot of running

186
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: if all three of those guys are banged up like

187
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: they are, which I think, the volume will then go

188
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: to d Ernest Johnson. But Felton, who doesn't have a

189
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: carry yet on the year, has been used in the

190
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: passing game, so I think if Chub is back either

191
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: Thursday or maybe week eight, I think Felton then still

192
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: has a role as that Kareem Hunt style of running

193
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: back the pass catcher for the Browns. So because of that,

194
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: I think Johnson's ceiling is higher, but I think Felton's

195
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: floor the next three weeks is a little safer because

196
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: he's not as impacted by Nick Chubb. So I think

197
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 1: both of them those should be picked up as of now. Yeah,

198
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: Dimtric Felton was a guy who did kick some passes.

199
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: He was a wide receiver for part of his career

200
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: at U C l A, so he definitely could fill

201
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: in in the passing game if need be. He ended

202
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: up converting to running back after Josh Kelly left and

203
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: was drafted, uh than Felton kind of went to the

204
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: running back spot, and so that's sort of where he

205
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: has been ever since then, but definitely could factor into

206
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: the passing game if the Browns need him to. But man,

207
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 1: that's it is a rough situation for Cleveland. It's rough

208
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: for fantasy managers, and we'll keep an eye on that

209
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: as we get to Thursday. Uh time. Now for things

210
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: we learned after watching another Sunday of NFL football, Things

211
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: that we have taken away from it to maybe help

212
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: us and you get better at fantasy for the weeks

213
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: to come. So what what's rolling around the noggin right now?

214
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: I mean the talking point of this year has been

215
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: like backup running backs with all the injuries, and I

216
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 1: learned that like, yes, they are very much so worth

217
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: your top waiver claims are worth a lot of fab

218
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: off the waiver wire. Just look at this week alone,

219
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: Darryl Williams was the RB six, um Khalil Herbert RB ten.

220
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: Then you had Alex Collins at sixteen, Chris Evans somehow

221
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,239
Speaker 1: got in there at seventeen, Andre Stevenson at nineteen, DeVante

222
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: Booker at three. So a lot of names in recent

223
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: weeks that we have been talking about grabbing off the

224
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 1: waiver wire are paying dividends to Hubbard was RB twenty one,

225
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, I know it's they're not giving us the

226
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: production that their starters would be if they were out

227
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: there and healthy, but they are helping you survive the injuries.

228
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: They're definitely gonna help you survived the bye weeks. And

229
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 1: it's why I would take a shot on both of

230
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: the Browns guys this week. And it's why I've been

231
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: kind of in recent weeks preaching instead of having like

232
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: a six wide receiver on your bench, grab one of

233
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: these running backs that if the starter gets injured, they're

234
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: going to see a big workload because it's been just

235
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: paying off each and every week. The top waiver guy

236
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: is a backup running back who's elevated to a starting job,

237
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: and we're seeing it paid dividends as people get them

238
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: into their starting lineups. I know people have looked at

239
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: the last few weeks and and sort of leaned on

240
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: the hey, this is a good This turned out to

241
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: be a good year to do zero rb uh And

242
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: I feel like you and I may have talked about

243
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: this at the beginning of the season, that there's always

244
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: an opportunity for these backup running backs. But I think

245
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: the hard part of drafting zero RB, at least for me,

246
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: is that you have to sort of guess, right, Um,

247
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: you know, like I don't think anybody ever anticipated we'd

248
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: be talking about Khalil Herbert or Dimitric Felton at this

249
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: point in the season. So even the astute zero RB

250
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: folks out there, Um, you know, I'm sure there's still

251
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: some swings and missus two. I mean there's a bunch

252
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: of the top receivers have disappointed this year too. Like

253
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: if you win zero ORB and took like Stefon Diggs

254
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: and DeAndre Hopkins at and the turn I'm sure you're

255
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: not feeling great right now. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, look,

256
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson still is looking for a decent game and

257
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: it hasn't happened for him either, So yeah, that that

258
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: that does factor into it. Um, for me, realizing that

259
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: Sam Donald has come back to earth, he's come back

260
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: to reality. The last few weeks have not been very good.

261
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: The first couple of weeks, not only was he you know,

262
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: throwing touchdowns, throwing for yards, he wasn't turning the football.

263
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: Over the last few weeks that has changed dramatically. The

264
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: turnovers have gone way up for Donald. Some of it

265
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: is on him. Some of it is just bad decision

266
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: making and poor throws. Some of it is playing behind

267
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: an offensive line that is really struggling to protect him.

268
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: Over the last few weeks, Uh, two turnovers on Sunday,

269
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: three turnovers the week before to the week before that.

270
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: It really has sort of fallen apart uh the last

271
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: few weeks for Donald, and so those that hope that

272
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: maybe it could be a solid QB two for you

273
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: and carry you through super flex or or two QB leagues,

274
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: while it's not dead, Uh, the dream is flickering right now.

275
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: So um, look, if you're in one of those super

276
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: flex leagues, you're probably starting him because again by mcgeddon's happening.

277
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: But the expectations I think are sort of lowered for

278
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: Sam Donald going forward. Um, Donald, Yeah, how do you

279
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: feel about it? You can take Donald off the Jets,

280
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: he can't take the Jets out of Donald. Uh. Stay

281
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: with Robbie Anderson too, because Robbie Anderson still can't figure

282
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: it out that that's been the biggest head scratcher all year.

283
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: Although I will say Robbie Anderson, I actually put him

284
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: in the Waiver Wire column this week as like a

285
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: if he gets dropped. I'm okay still adding him only

286
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: because I know he's still playing poorly and I had

287
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: him as a drop a couple of weeks ago. But

288
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: he has twenty nine targets in his last three games,

289
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: Like that's hard volume to ignore. But yeah, I don't

290
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: think you could start him right now. Yeah, I mean

291
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: they're trying to get him the ball um he and

292
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: d J. Moore just he just forgot how hands were.

293
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: Apparently apparently that's the issue that the Panther's pass catcher

294
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: yesterday had a really really rough day. All right side

295
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: for a break. When we come back, we will look

296
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: at some of the top performers and uh we will

297
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: sprink a little bit of salts on some folks who

298
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: will maybe let us down in Week six two for

299
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: that on the NFL Fantasy Football Show, taking a look

300
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: at the Week six top performers. You're number one score

301
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: Cedd Lamb. I will tell you that I needed that

302
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: in a league, but the rest of my team was terrible,

303
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: so it really didn't matter. But thirty six points out

304
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: of ceedee Lamb. Cooper cup continue used to go strong.

305
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: He had thirty or four points. Was number two Leonard

306
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: four Nette comes in at third. Adam Feeling at number

307
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: four of his baby his biggest game of the year.

308
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle Uh is at number five. Jonathan Taylor. In

309
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: the second half they figured out how to give him

310
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: the football. He ends up with nearly twenty nine Fantasy points.

311
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins is seven. That Prescott is at eight, although

312
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: maybe injured himself late in that game. Something to keep

313
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: an eye on going forward. Joe Mixing at nine. Donovan

314
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: People's Jones slides in at number ten. One of the

315
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: bigger surprises. I guess two touchdowns will do that for you,

316
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: especially when Odell Beckham Jr. Ends up having to leave

317
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: the game temporarily at least with an injury. The rest

318
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: of them. Kyler Murray is at eleven. Jalen Hurts, Uh,

319
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: you know, by hook or by crook, he's gonna get

320
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: you twenty points. It wasn't pretty, but he gets you

321
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: twenty five. Darrell Henderson another solid game. UH. Antonio Brown

322
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: was at seventeen. Darrell Williams and his game end up

323
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: at eighteen. Aaron Rodgers and Courtland Sutton end up browning

324
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: out the top twenty. But let's go back and talk

325
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: about Leonard Fournette. He was your number three scorer this week,

326
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: and if you look at his usage the last few weeks,

327
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,359
Speaker 1: it has been dominated by Leonard four net in the backfield.

328
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: So with that in mind, is he an RB one

329
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season. I think so. I

330
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of people out there who will

331
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: be like, no, he's not. He's an RB two in

332
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: a way, but like, name me twelve running backs right

333
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: now that you would take over Leonard four Nette. It's

334
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: maybe it's borderline, but I think he is definitely In

335
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: that discussion, you talk about the usage Marcus his last

336
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: three games twenty three, sixteen and twenty eight touches. What

337
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: I like most is he has at least five targets

338
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: and all three of those games, and that is with

339
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: Geo Bernard playing. He's got over a hundred and ten

340
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: scrimmage yards in each of them. Uh three touchdowns in

341
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: his last two games combined. And again he's just topping

342
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: twenty fantasy points consistently as of late. So yeah, I

343
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: think with the usage he is seeing, it's funny time

344
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,239
Speaker 1: is a flat circle. Like last year we did this

345
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: thing where it was always it Ronald Jones or Leonard Fournette,

346
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: and it came out like Leonard Fournette is the better

347
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: of the two running backs. He's especially in the playoffs,

348
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 1: and we all kind of thought, like Art he solidified himself,

349
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: he had to win the job again this year. But

350
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just proving that he is the back

351
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: that one Tom Brady clearly trusted Wilson that goes a

352
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: long way in Tampa Bay and too, I think he's

353
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: just the better all around back of their three options there.

354
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: He he really is, because he gives you the straight

355
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: ahead kind of between the tackles running ability that they

356
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: want from Ronald Jones, but he gives you the pass

357
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: catching ability that you expect that of Joe Bernard. He is,

358
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: you know, he's chocolate and peanut butter together. So I

359
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: don't know why why we can't get more excited about him.

360
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: I think, I really do think for fantasy we've just

361
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: been scarred by Bruce arians and the way he sort

362
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: of uses these running backs. But uh, Letard Fournette checks

363
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: all the boxes, right. He's a starting running back who's

364
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: getting the majority of the snaps, who catches the football

365
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: out of the backfield. He really truly is everything we want. Um,

366
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: It's just that we have dealt with with the Buccaneers

367
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: sort of rotating guys through for the last few seasons,

368
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: and I think we're sort of a little bit wary

369
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: of that. But right now all signs point to this

370
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: really belonging to Leonard four Nette there in Tampa, um

371
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: in Arizona, we talked about the trade Zach Ertz going

372
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: to the Cardinals replacing the injured Max Williams, but as

373
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 1: you pointed out, there's still four wide receivers there that

374
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 1: are getting a lot of work. We know DeAndre Hopkins

375
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: is going to be nuke. Even if he's not putting

376
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: up the Monster video game numbers, he's still the first

377
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: option in the passing game. Rondel Moore has become a

378
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,959
Speaker 1: nice guy to get touches to their manufacturing touches for him,

379
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 1: however they can get him the football. And then sort

380
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: of in the middle, you've got a J. Green and

381
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk, and both of those guys had really good

382
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: days on Sunday, and it's sort of been alternating. I

383
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: feel like your week on, week off, if you had

384
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: to pick one for the rest of the year, who

385
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: would it be. I would go with A. J. Green

386
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: because he has been more consistent, Like he had the

387
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: one down game last week where he only had two targets,

388
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: but besides that, he has six targets in every single

389
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: game this year. Um he has been consistently playing the

390
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: second most snaps for them, and he has top sixteen

391
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 1: Fantasy points in three of his last four and over

392
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: thirteen and four or five, so he's been productive as

393
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: well and consistently productive. I don't think his ceiling is

394
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: as high as Christian Kirk's, but I think his floor

395
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: is safer the way I because I had to write

396
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: about A. J. Green for like the fifth time in

397
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: the Waiver Wire articles this year, like pick this guy

398
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: up already, so I can stop writing about him. But

399
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: I said that I think Green brings the best combination

400
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 1: of a safe floor and a pretty high upside, whereas

401
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: I think Christian Kirk has a lower floor but a

402
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: little bit higher upside. And then roundel Moore is just

403
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: the swing for the fence type of play. But I

404
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: do think all four of them could be rostered in

405
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,719
Speaker 1: like a twelve team fantasy league. I absolutely think all

406
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 1: four of them should be rostered. Yeah, if you're if

407
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 1: you're anything above ten teams, and all four of these

408
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: guys should should not be available on the waiver wire.

409
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: And I would go with Green as well. I think

410
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: a lot of what you said, uh, is what I'm

411
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: feeling that he does give you that safer week to

412
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: week floor option. And I remember in the preseason, you know, preseason,

413
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: we know is when everybody is going to be great

414
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: and everybody's going to have the best year of their careers. Uh.

415
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 1: And Kyler Murray was saying, hey, guys, watch out. A J.

416
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: Green is gonna be back. He's gonna be productive. And

417
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: I think we all were kind of like, yeah, alright, sure,

418
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: but um it turned out to be right. And and

419
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: A J. Green is having a very nice season down

420
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: in Arizona. Look, maybe there's something to him not having

421
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: to carry the offense, knowing there are other guys around

422
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: there they can pick up the slack and just kind

423
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: of letting him do his thing whatever it is. I

424
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: feel better with his week to week consistency than I

425
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: do with with Christian Kirk. Uh. You know, I said

426
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: at the beginn of the year, I'm sort of out

427
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 1: on Christian Kirk, which is why he's having a good year. Um,

428
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna keep I'm gonna keep my stance, and

429
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with a J. Green. Let's see how

430
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: that works out, all right. So from the good to

431
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: the not so good. That gets us to this week's

432
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: version of I'm salty the guys that we are disappointed with,

433
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: uh for you who let you down? This week. I

434
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: was originally gonna go with Frank Reich because he only

435
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 1: gave Jonathan Taylor three touches in the first half, and

436
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: then people in my mentions are like, oh, you're happy

437
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: with the end of the game results, and I'm like,

438
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: stop it, you're all enablers. We shouldn't be rooting this on.

439
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 1: But Jonathan Taylor ended up playing well, so I switched

440
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: it up. I'm going with Keenan Allen here. And Keenan

441
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: Allen is someone that I was talking up all weeks saying,

442
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: I know it's obvious to say that you should start

443
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: this guy, but he hasn't been playing as well as

444
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: we expected, Like, he doesn't have twenty Fantasy points in

445
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: a game this year, and this is a Ravens defense

446
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: that has really struggled against slot receivers. Plus Mike Williams

447
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: was limited like Mike Williams was on the sideline a

448
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: bunch this past week, and the Chargers were down multiple

449
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 1: scores throughout this game. So you would think game script volume,

450
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: everything breaks right for Keenan Allen. Yet he comes away

451
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: with just five catches for fifty yards and ten Fantasy points.

452
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: He has not been the wide receiver one that we've

453
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: drafted him to be. And in fact, I'm starting to

454
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: think is this guy more of a wide receiver too

455
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 1: right now than a wide receiver one. Remember last year

456
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert was peppering him with targets. That just hasn't

457
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: been the case this year. Yeah, that was a huge

458
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: disappointment yesterday that game. I came into it with high

459
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: hopes one just to kind of watch. I thought it

460
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: was gonna be an entertaining game, and the Ravens just

461
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: random out of the building pretty much from the beginning.

462
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: And you're right, with no Mike Williams, you would have

463
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: expected more from Keenan Allen and it just didn't happen. Um. So,

464
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: like you, I had a name that I had to

465
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: scratch out because things changed as the game progressed. Um.

466
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: I was worried about Dak Prescott. I mean early in

467
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: the game, he threw an interception, he fumbled. Uh, it

468
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: was not looking good. They were struggling to really generate

469
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 1: any kind of offense again the Patriots. But then he

470
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: figured it out and he ended with twenty six fantasy points. Uh.

471
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 1: And then Ceedee Lamb had the big game. So I

472
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: had to kind of scratch that name off my list

473
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: and instead I turned to Taylor Heineke. Uh. And and

474
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,199
Speaker 1: maybe maybe I should have seen this coming. This is

475
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 1: the thing that Adam Rank pointed out later in the

476
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: week last week that everybody seems really big on Taylor Heineck.

477
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: Everybody was picking on the Chiefs defense. Uh, it just

478
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: seemed too obvious, and so something bad was going to happen.

479
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: And there it is just about nine fantasy points out

480
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,719
Speaker 1: of Taylor Heineck after he had really been able to

481
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: take advantage of good matchups, and you just see him

482
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: just missing throws, just a lot of overthrows, just off

483
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: all day in Kansas City, finally getting pressure on a quarterback.

484
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: And so, uh, Heineck was more an option in some

485
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: of the super flex leagues I play in, but I

486
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: really thought it would be better than it was yesterday.

487
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: So maybe maybe I should be salty it myself for

488
00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: sort of buying in on this, But uh, yeah, so

489
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: I do know is that that is that more of

490
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: the real Taylor Heienecky or was it the other guy?

491
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 1: Or is it in between? I think it's in between.

492
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 1: I think this is part of Taylor Heineck, is that

493
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: he's going to be inconsistent, like he's gonna have some

494
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: good days where we're like, all right. It was fun

495
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: using him in fantasy, and I don't think he'll he'll

496
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 1: disappoint like this. Uh. I was right there with you

497
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: on him. I had him ranked as a my QB

498
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 1: twelve this week, and then Adam Rank pointed out he said,

499
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,199
Speaker 1: whenever the fantasy community gets a player, you know it

500
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 1: goes wrong. And he was right. But the one thing

501
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: I was grateful for was Taylor Henick did hit Ricky

502
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 1: Seals Jones Ricky Sealals Jones for that touchdown, and I

503
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: was I was pretty excited about that because I used

504
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: him in the league. But yeah, this, that Chief's game

505
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: overall was disappointing. I would say I definitely would say

506
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: so because I thought it was gonna be a higher

507
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 1: scoring game kind of on both sides. Kansas City sort

508
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: of lived up to it. Washington, Uh definitely did not.

509
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: That was another team. They made a sweat like Mahomes

510
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: and Hill and it was all in the second half. Ah,

511
00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: you just can't be easy. It can never ever be anyway, Hey,

Speaker 1: grant Um. I have, on the suggestion of my wife,

521
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: been using the Succession theme song for the last couple

522
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: of TikTok's shows back. I haven't even watched season or

523
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: i'ven't watched the episode one of the new season yet.

524
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: Are you? Are you a Succession watcher at all? Florio

525
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: Um I started it over the summer and I need

526
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: to I never finished it. I need to get back

527
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: into it. Um. I heard it gets really good. My

528
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: only issue was all of the characters are very unlikable.

529
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: They're they're all awful. People know they're they're terrible, terrible people. Um,

530
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: but you do start to sort of gravitate toward one

531
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 1: or the other. Um, and it is it's a it's

532
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: a good story. They're they're all you know, it's a

533
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: well written show. It's fun. Um. If you can stand

534
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: horrible people being horrible to each other, that's all all right. Um.

535
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: Hopefully you're not horrible to people when you make trade offers.

536
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: Hopefully they're not horrible to you when they offer you

537
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: certain trade options. But we got a handful of guys

538
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: that you should either be trading four or trading a

539
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: way to help make your team a little bit better.

540
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: So let's start with the guys that maybe you want

541
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: to bring in. Who's somebody that people should be trying

542
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: to trade four right now? I think Calvin really is

543
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: a really good trade target. Right now, it's very possible

544
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: that the person that drafted him is struggling out the gate.

545
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: They could be like two and four or maybe even worse.

546
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 1: And if that's the case they might be feeling like

547
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: they need to make a move. Calvin really was off

548
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: to a slow start, but he was still averaging over

549
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: ten targets per game. The air yards have been back

550
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: up in recent games and the red zone targets have

551
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: been going up as well. Plus I know he missed

552
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: that London game due to personal reasons, but we keep

553
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: talking about Baymageddon and all the buys coming up. He

554
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: has already had his boys, so you have him the

555
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: rest of the way. He returned to practice today. I

556
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: say go out and chart to trade for Calvin Ridley

557
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 1: right now, because I think the best is still yet

558
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: to come. I I completely agree. I mean, we saw

559
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts have the big game in London. I think

560
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley is due for one of those big blow

561
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: up games as well. I would say a guy you

562
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: want to trade for though, is Darryl Henderson, And um, yeah,

563
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: it's funny. Somebody uh recently, uh speaking of TikTok, did

564
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: a TikTok where they talked about how Darryl Henderson has

565
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: the chance to really help people win their leagues. Someone

566
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: sent it to me saying that I should roast it,

567
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: and I watched the whole thing, and I'm like, no,

568
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: this actually makes a lot of sense. Uh, Darrell Henderson

569
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: is getting a ton of opportunity in that backfield. He's

570
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: playing about sevent of the snaps. He's getting most of

571
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: the work. Occasionally they rotate Sony Michelle and to sort

572
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: of give Henderson a breather, but he is the bona

573
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: fide RB one and the schedule the rest of the

574
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: way is really nice, especially in the fantasy playoffs. Now,

575
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: the fact that he's playing well means you probably are

576
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: going to have to pay up to get him. You're

577
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: gonna have to give something of value away to get

578
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: Darryl Henderson. But if you can work out a deal

579
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 1: to bring him in, I absolutely think it's worth it

580
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 1: to ride with him the rest of the season. Anybody else,

581
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: folks maybe should be trying to acquire At this point,

582
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: I can't quit on him. Like I think he is

583
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: the better running back of the two there in Denver,

584
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 1: and I think, guess the season goes away goes on,

585
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 1: he will, you know, get more and more work. So

586
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 1: I'd be trying to trade for him right now before

587
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: that ever happens. I agree, I'm just waiting. I'm waiting

588
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: and waiting, and Melvin Gordon's hanging on. But I think

589
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: I think that time is coming for Javonte. I would say,

590
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: you also want to be trading for Chase Claypool. I

591
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: know yesterday was not great that he had two catches

592
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: for seventeen yards or something like that. The number to

593
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: look at is the seven targets, and the target share

594
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: has gone up, uh quite a bit even before Drew

595
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: Ju Smith Schuster got hurt, but now with Juju gone,

596
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: that target number has gone up quite a bit. It's

597
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: a lot of like what you said about Robby Anderson Florio.

598
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: The target number has been great even if the production hasn't.

599
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: And I'm still banking on at some point you're you're

600
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: feeding Chase Claypool as many targets, it's gonna be okay.

601
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: That's at least what I believe. He was good the

602
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: last two weeks before last night, like so, he has

603
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: been productive and he had that one catch on the

604
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: sideline where if he gets that second foot in, maybe

605
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: we're feeling a little bit better about him today. No, absolutely, absolutely,

606
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: all right, So those are the guys you want to trade. Four.

607
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: Who is a guy that folks maybe should look to

608
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: send away at this point. I know people are gonna

609
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: get upset about this, but I think you should be

610
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: trading DeAndre Hopkins away. Look, DeAndre Hopkins is still a

611
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: huge name, but the name is not bringing any type

612
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: of volume that we would expect out of a what

613
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: was a top five consensus, top five wide receiver coming

614
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: into the year. He's averaging just over six targets per

615
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: game this year. His target share is down almost nine

616
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: percent from what it was last season. The air yards

617
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: are down dramatically, um his yards per game markets he's

618
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: averaging just sixty one yards per game right now. Last

619
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: year was eight eight. The thing that is keeping him

620
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: afloat right now is the six touchdowns. That is what

621
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: he had all of last season. So his fantasy points

622
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: per game is only a point and a half less

623
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: than what it was last year. But I don't trust

624
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: him to keep this touchdown paced up all year. And

625
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: with the yards and the targets in the air, yards

626
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: and all of that down right now, I think you

627
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: still could sell DeAndre Hopkins as a bona fide stud

628
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: wide receiver one, and I would do so before people

629
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: start catching on like hey, them spreading the ball out

630
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: here is actually having a negative effect on DeAndre Hopkins, right.

631
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: I Mean that's that's sort of the thing. We we

632
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: love passing games where we know there are the only

633
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: couple of real options there right now. That's definitely not Arizona. Um. Well,

634
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: speaking of big names that might anger people, when you

635
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: say trade him away, I'm gonna say Nick Chubb, um.

636
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: And this was even before the injury happened that that

637
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: kept him out on Sunday. I'm yes, he is still

638
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: a quality running back. And here's the thing. You can

639
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: offer up Nick Chubb in a trade and people aren't

640
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: going to immediately think you're trying to pull the wool

641
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: over on them, because he is still productive and he's

642
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: going to be productive. What worries me about Nick Chubb

643
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: is that he doesn't catch the football anymore. He has

644
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: five catches all year five five. You can count them

645
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: on one hand, the number of catches he has this year,

646
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: which is by far the fewest of any running back

647
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: in the top twenty five. And his position, all that

648
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: works going to Kareem Hunt. And on top of it,

649
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,719
Speaker 1: Hunt when he's healthy was getting worked down near the

650
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: goal line. And so once these guys are back together

651
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: again in this back field. I think it goes back

652
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: to that. So maybe this is an opportunity to sort of,

653
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,959
Speaker 1: you know, offer up Nick Chubb, get something back in return,

654
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: and not feel like you're completely fleecing the other person

655
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: on the other side. But I think long term, I

656
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: think Nick Chubb, especially late in the season, might not

657
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: be where you want to go uh in terms of

658
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: your RB one anybody else that people should be wary

659
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: of right now. I completely agree with you on Nick

660
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: Chubb too. And and then another player I would be

661
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: looking to trade is Adam Feeling. I know he had

662
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: a great game yesterday, and I seem like an Adam

663
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: Feeling hater, but he's been his yards have been down

664
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: now for a year and have yesterday. Was nice to

665
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: see that he got the yardage, but he's become kind

666
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: of touchdown dependent. So I think now is the perfect

667
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: time to strike. Like he's coming off of this huge game,

668
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: go ahead and trade him now while people still think

669
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: that he is like a top fifteen or so wide receiver,

670
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: because I just don't value him as that. I think

671
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: that he will have games like this, but he's also

672
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: gonna have games like he did the past couple of

673
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: weeks where he's giving you single digits because he's not

674
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: scoring a touchdown and putting up less than fifty yards. Right.

675
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: I'm with you on this because I think yesterday was

676
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,239
Speaker 1: sort of nice, But I just don't know that it's

677
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: going to be a weekly thing with him, and at

678
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: some point the schedule is gonna get a little bit

679
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: tougher for the Vikings as well, So I worry about Feeling.

680
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: I would also say Tee Higgins is a guy that

681
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: maybe you want to send away at this point. And

682
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: Higgins will have some nice games. I think it's I

683
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: think he's sort of a lesser version of Adam Feeling

684
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: in the sense that he's going to get some targets.

685
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: He's going to have some games where he really does pop.

686
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: But right now, when things are breaking down and Joe

687
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: Burrows in trouble, he's looking for Jamaar Chase primarily. Uh,

688
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd, who I really liked coming into the year,

689
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: hasn't really been much to speak of at this point.

690
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: So Higgins is sort of that he's sort of that midshelf, uh,

691
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: you know, when you go to the bar. He's kind

692
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: of that midshelf liquor. You know, he's not he's not

693
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: the top end. You're not reaching for the high end

694
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: stuff and you're not getting well, Uh, he's kind of midshelf,

695
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: and so I think, you know, he's definitely a nice

696
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: option to package. Again, you're not you're not necessarily fleecing

697
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: the other person. But uh, I feel like there are

698
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: more production of productive options you can go out there

699
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: and you can find, uh for for your fantasy roster

700
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season. Jamaar Chase is one

701
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: of those top shelf. Yes, No, Jamar Chases is absolutely

702
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: top shelf. He's like, you know, blue label sort of thing,

703
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: like like he's gonna it's gonna hit you in the

704
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: wallet if you're trying to acquire Jamar Chase at this point,

705
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: that's a good spot to take a quick break. Will

706
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: come back and we will look at the waiver wire.

707
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: Four Weeks six by mcgeddon or actually say Week seven

708
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: by mcgeddon is coming. We're gonna help you prepare for it.

709
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: That's next on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Here are

710
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: our week seven waiver wire targets. Floria walk us through it.

711
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: Huh yeah to a tonge by Loa is my top

712
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 1: quarterback AD this week. And then Carson Wentz. I know

713
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: he's Carson Wentz, but he has a really favorable schedule

714
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: to help you through these boys the next couple of weeks.

715
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: Justin fields running a little bit more. Deernest Johnson and

716
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: Demitric Felton. We spoke about them earlier, but I think

717
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 1: both need to be rostered. Romandre Stevenson, DeVonta Freeman, Tyson

718
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: Williams some running backs that have played well and are

719
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: going to be getting more usage. Uh. And then Jerick

720
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:37,720
Speaker 1: McKinnon and Captain America Chris Evans round out the running

721
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: backs there um. But we also got lots of receivers

722
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: and tight ends as well that we're gonna talk about.

723
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: Rashad Bateman is my top AD of the week this week.

724
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: He tied for the team lead and targets in his

725
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: first game back. I really like his upside. T Y

726
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,439
Speaker 1: Hilton returned and led the Colton targets a Monroe's st

727
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: Brown saw seven targets once again for a third straight game.

728
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: Miko Hardman has just been were involved than we expected

729
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: as of late. Donovan People's Jones had a big game

730
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: calif Raymond, Diami Brown some deeper league options there, and

731
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,760
Speaker 1: then Ricky Seals Jones. Uh he's been getting good usage

732
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: with Logan Thomas sideline. Jared Cook is on by next week,

733
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: but he's good for a touchdown. So when he's back

734
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: and other tight ends are on by, I think he

735
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: will be in play. And then mo Ali Cox again.

736
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: A lot of buys this week. You're probably hoping for

737
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: a touchdown if you need to stream a tight end.

738
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,919
Speaker 1: I like his chances of scoring, so I included him

739
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 1: as one of the waiver wire tight ends this week.

740
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: That's pretty much all you want when you're when you're

741
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: looking for a tight en off the waiver wire. What

742
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:38,280
Speaker 1: what is this guy's opportunity to potentially score a touchdown? Um?

743
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: Because you're you're not gonna find a guy off the

744
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 1: wire and that's gonna get you, you know, seven catches

745
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: for eighty yards. It's just maybe you fall into that.

746
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't count on it. Um. So the Ravens backfield,

747
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: Uh it is it was straight out of uh. Levi

748
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: on Bell scored a touchdown, which is how the world

749
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: found out that he's wearing number seventeen now and the

750
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: world apparently does not approve of Levian Bell worrying number seventeen,

751
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: for whatever that's worth. But Tyson Williams, Levian Bell, Devontae Freeman,

752
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: they're all sort of in the mix behind Littavius Murray there,

753
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 1: and you know, Murray, I know, got a little bit

754
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: banged up as well. Of those other ones, though, which

755
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: one did you trust the most? I would go with

756
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: DeVonta Freeman, but it is tough Lettavias Murray. John Harbor

757
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: did say after the game, like it's not that serious

758
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,439
Speaker 1: of an injury, but my thinking was like his Week

759
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: seven is definitely in jeopardy. So I do think it's

760
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: worth grabbing these other running backs off the waiver wire.

761
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: DeVonta Freeman has consistently been used as the RB two

762
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: this year, and he I think his work is safest,

763
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,240
Speaker 1: so he is my top grab. But I think Tyson

764
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: Williams could come in here and you know, play one

765
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 1: of the top two RB roles there. I just just

766
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: think he's more explosive than the other guys. Leve Bell,

767
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,879
Speaker 1: I'm leaving only for deep leagues, but I would rank

768
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: him Freeman Williams Bell of these three options here, I

769
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: think I think I'm with you on that one. I

770
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: know Freeman is maybe the one. Actually my honest answer

771
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: is none. But but for the sake of this segment,

772
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Devonte Freeman. You look at the

773
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: the Ravens carries from Sunday. Uh, Freeman had nine, Lamar

774
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 1: Jackson had eight, Lettas Murray had nine, Levian Bell had eight.

775
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:31,959
Speaker 1: I mean, that is zero clarity whatsoever. Freeman, Murray, Bell

776
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: all scored rushing touchdowns, which I believe I think I

777
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: saw on Twitter. The last time that happened was sometime

778
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:41,720
Speaker 1: in where they all scored touchdowns on the same week. Um,

779
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: it's just it's a mess. I mean, the Ravens want

780
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 1: to run the football at part, we know, but if

781
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: they're really going to rotate, you know, three or four

782
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 1: guys in there, then then who knows. And and the

783
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: thing with Tyson Williams is that you just never know

784
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: if he's gonna end up being a healthy scratch in

785
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: any given week. We've seen that already a couple of

786
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: times this year too, so that makes him really hard

787
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: to trust. I'm really at the point where I just

788
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: kind of want to wash my hands of it. But

789
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: like I said, if I had to pick one. I

790
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: guess it's DeVante Freeman, but I don't. I don't love it.

791
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: Um Justin Fields. The last week, you said you wanted

792
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: to see Justin Field score more than nine points in

793
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: a fantasy game. He did. I think he had thirteen

794
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: yea UM, considering the injuries, considering the buys Um. Look,

795
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: I'm not expecting you to say you're gonna start him

796
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 1: in a one quarterback league, but a two quarterback league.

797
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:35,280
Speaker 1: Would you consider him this week in a two quarterback league? Yeah,

798
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: just because we're gonna have so many teams on buy

799
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: that the the options are gonna be thinner, and it

800
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: is a solid match up against the bucks Um. But

801
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: I still, if possible, would like to take a weight

802
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: and see approach. I'm still a fan of holding onto

803
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: this guy because I do think his ceiling is really high.

804
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: Maybe at some point I need to give up on that,

805
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: but I think yesterday was encouraging because he ran more. Yesterday.

806
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 1: He rushed for forty two rushing arts, which was more

807
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: than he rushed for in his first three starts combined.

808
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 1: So that is a big part of his game that

809
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: we were kind of waiting to let the Bears. Let

810
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: him run more. I'm waiting to see more deep shots.

811
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: I'm waiting just to see him play better in the Bears,

812
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: to put up actual offensive numbers. But I'm still preaching

813
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: taken wait and see approach. In two quarterback leagues, you

814
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: might not have another option next week. So I think

815
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 1: he is in play in those formats. I think so.

816
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 1: I think that's about the only way though. Um, the

817
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: Bears still have the worst passing offense in the league.

818
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: Um Fields a hundred and seventy four passing yards. It

819
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 1: it is a struggle for them to play offense this year,

820
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 1: and it's disappointing. I mean, I know we again, maybe

821
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: we were too excited about Justin Fields. Maybe maybe we

822
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,479
Speaker 1: should have listened to Matt Naggie. Maybe Matt Nagie should

823
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:51,240
Speaker 1: have given us a heads up. I don't know, but um, yeah,

824
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 1: it's thinks he's Andy Dalton. So where just Fields as

825
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. So it's all it's all out of whack

826
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: in Chicago. I mean, Alan Robins and doesn't have eleven

827
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 1: Fantasy points in a single game this year. Oh, just miserable.

828
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: Remember when we thought that Justin Fields is gonna be

829
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: the best quarterback he's played with and maybe he maybe

830
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 1: he will be, but right now he's definitely not. The

831
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: issue is Alan Robinson will be playing somewhere else when

832
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: Justin Fields comes into his own and he's playing like

833
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: we anticipated he would this year. That's right. M LA.

834
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: Robins has said how much he really didn't like the

835
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: city of Chicago, like this is making it is making

836
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: it really easy for him to leave Chicago. This is

837
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: his like get me out of here tour. Absolutely. Oh man.

838
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,439
Speaker 1: All right, all that being said, knowing that everybody's gonna

839
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,959
Speaker 1: be hitting the waiver wire really hard this week, who

840
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,800
Speaker 1: is your top waiver wire target Week six or weeks seven?

841
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: Unless you're desperate forward running back, I think it should

842
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: be Rashad Bateman. Like I was excited about Bateman coming

843
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:49,919
Speaker 1: into the years. I know a lot of people were.

844
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: He was going in drafts in like the ninth or

845
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 1: tenth round, and then he got injured, and you know,

846
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: we we stopped drafting him. But you can get a

847
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: guy who was like a ninth or tenth round pick

848
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: on your roster as a waiver wire pickup right now.

849
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: I know he only had four catches for twenty nine

850
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 1: yards this week. That's not great, but Todd for the

851
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: team lead and targets. He played the second most snaps

852
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: amongst the receivers, and he has a type of weapon

853
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: like Lamar Jackson has never had before. He's a downfield

854
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: right Lamar's had plenty of those, but he's a contested

855
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,479
Speaker 1: catch monster, and I think we'll be used a lot

856
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: in the red zone. And again, kudos to Lamar Jackson, Like, yeah,

857
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: he only had a throw for a hundred and sixties

858
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: seven passing yards yesterday, but he is passing way better

859
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: than he gets credit for. And this is just a

860
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,240
Speaker 1: better passing And then I think a lot of people realize.

861
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 1: So I do think there's room for Andrews Brown and

862
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: Rashad Bateman to all be fantasy relevant. Maybe the Ravens

863
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: really are going to emphasize the passing game a little

864
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: bit more. They've been telling us that for years. I

865
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 1: wanted to take away in Sea attitude, but maybe it's

866
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,360
Speaker 1: it's really starting to happen. I do like who the

867
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,879
Speaker 1: running backs are well that that's how they're doing too,

868
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 1: That's true. I do like the Bateman call, I'm gonna

869
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: go I'm on ross st Brown and I'm you know

870
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: you want to talk about being a truth or and

871
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: holding onto this one. Um. Look, even if the production

872
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: isn't always there, the targets are really starting to come

873
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: for for st Brown. Uh. You know, I came into

874
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: the year thinking that maybe he would be the number

875
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,479
Speaker 1: two target in the offense. That was because I didn't

876
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: think that, you know that the DeAndre Swift is going

877
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: to be the target monster that he has become. So

878
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 1: right now, I think it's still a safe bet that

879
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: that St. Brown is the number three behind Swift and

880
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 1: Hawkinson there. But on a team that's gonna be playing

881
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: from behind a lot, that's gonna have to be throwing

882
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: the football a lot. That means there's gonna be a

883
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: lot of opportunity. The only thing I would love would

884
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: be some more yards after the catch numbers, because just

885
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,439
Speaker 1: working out of the slot as Jared with Jared Goff

886
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 1: as your quarterback, you're not gonna see a lot of

887
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 1: air yards, so you're gonna have to do it yourself.

888
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: So that's maybe the one thing that would concern me

889
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: a little bit more. But the opportunity seems to be

890
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 1: there for for st Brown. Um. And again, it's like

891
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 1: you said, Floria. If you don't need a running back.

892
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: If you need running back, and a lot of people do,

893
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 1: that should be your top priority. But if you are

894
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: somehow side at that position. Uh, and maybe you can

895
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: look to a young wide receiver to kind of to

896
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 1: kind of help you out a little bit. All right,

897
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 1: So if you want more waiver wire options, you can

898
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 1: go check out Florio's calm. He rights at every week

899
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,760
Speaker 1: nfl dot com slash waiver Wire. He has these names

900
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: and some more on there with some analysis to kind

901
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 1: of help you make your decision heading into the week. Well,

902
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 1: let's take a look at Monday Night football as we

903
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 1: wrap up Week six the Bills and the Titans. Uh.

904
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 1: I think this could be an entertaining games like it

905
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: should be a lot of fun. Um, we're still waiting

906
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: for the really big Stefon Diggs game. Um, I know

907
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: you said it was coming. I mean, that was one

908
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,240
Speaker 1: of your bold predictions. I don't even even that bold

909
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: prediction last week. So I guess I know the answer

910
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: to this question, but I will ask it anyway because

911
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: that's how the show works. Will Stefan Diggs have his

912
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: first twenty point game of the season tonight? I think

913
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: so and uh, what I really want to say is

914
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: like he better because I need him and Josh Allen

915
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 1: and some fantasy teams to come through for me. Um.

916
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:01,879
Speaker 1: I think he has a really good game tonight. Like

917
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 1: the thing about Stefon Diggs is the production hasn't been there,

918
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: but up until last week, the volume has Like he's

919
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,800
Speaker 1: been seeing double digit targets per game the air yards.

920
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: He was still top five in the NFL and air yards.

921
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 1: And I know some people think of it as like

922
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: a DeAndre Hopkins type of situation where the weapons blossoming

923
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,280
Speaker 1: around him is hurting Diggs. That would be the case.

924
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,919
Speaker 1: I would say, if the volume wasn't going his way,

925
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: he just they haven't been connecting for whatever reason this year.

926
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,800
Speaker 1: I think the fact that Dawson Knox and Emmanuel Sanders

927
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 1: have proven to be reliable pass catchers probably take some

928
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: defensive attention away from Diggs. So if the volume is

929
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: still going his way, and what is the best matchup

930
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: a wide receiver can have against the Titans? Sorry producer, justin.

931
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,839
Speaker 1: I think that Diggs gets tony fantasy points and if

932
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: he doesn't, I'll probably just keep predicting it until he does.

933
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: I mean Yeah, if you keep saying it, eventually you're

934
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 1: gonna be right, right. I mean, just like all the

935
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 1: people who are saying Tom Brady is do for a

936
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: fall off, like one of these years, we're gonna be right.

937
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we might all be old and

938
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: gray and on walkers when it happens, but whatever, you know,

939
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna you know what's gonna happen with Brady, Like

940
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be like, all right, no more doubting him.

941
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,879
Speaker 1: And then that's gonna be the year he falls. Of course. Yeah,

942
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: that the moment we all decide like we just believed

943
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 1: and then he'll fall apart. Um. I I agree, though,

944
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:15,399
Speaker 1: I think I think this is a big week coming

945
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 1: for Stefon Diggs. We have seen some receivers have some

946
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 1: big games against the Titans secondary this year. In fact,

947
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 1: I think Nicole Hardman had a hundred yard game. I

948
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: think Tyler Lockett might have had a hundred yard game.

949
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 1: I maybe getting this wrong, but I know there's some

950
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: big games that came against against this Tennessee secondary. I

951
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: think Stefan Diggs can can do that one as well. Um. Meanwhile,

952
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: though the Titans have not given up a ton of

953
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 1: yards on the ground. Uh So for Zack Moss, who's

954
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 1: getting most of the work for the Bills, I'm putting

955
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,720
Speaker 1: the over under its sixty five rushing yards tonight. Over

956
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: under Zack Moss sixty five rushing yards, I'm gonna say under.

957
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: That would be a season high for him. He does

958
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: not have sixty five rushing yards in the game this year.

959
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: While I I admitted I was wrong on Single Tary

960
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 1: being the lead back, I think Zack Moss is the

961
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: back that you most wanted roster for fantasy purposes. Um

962
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary still has a role which limits the usage

963
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 1: for Zack Moss. Moss is getting a little bit more

964
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 1: targets and he's getting carries in the red zone, but

965
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: they're still splitting carries. So I'm gonna say he goes

966
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 1: under there. I think it's more of a passing game

967
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 1: for the Bills than a running game. I would agree.

968
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go under as well, just because, like I said,

969
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:26,879
Speaker 1: the the the Titans have been fairly good against the run,

970
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: and uh I think that that is going to continue.

971
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 1: By the way, priests just pointed out, it's not it's

972
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:33,919
Speaker 1: probably Christian Kirk. I'm thinking of he had seventy yards

973
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 1: and a couple of touchdowns. New Hopkins had eighty three

974
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 1: yards uh and a couple of touchdowns as well. So,

975
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: like I said, though, there there haven't been some receivers

976
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: having some nice games against the Titans. But I'm gonna

977
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 1: go under on Zack Moss in his rushing yards. On

978
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: the other side, Julio Jones is expected back. Now. I

979
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,959
Speaker 1: did see this morning that A. J. Brown has been

980
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 1: changed to questionable because he came down with an illness.

981
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 1: So that's something maybe to sort of, you know what,

982
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: We'll see what happen and when the enactors come out,

983
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,919
Speaker 1: but the expectation is that A. J. Brown will be there.

984
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: So believing that the Titans will have their two top receivers,

985
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 1: who do you think has the bigger game? Is it

986
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,399
Speaker 1: A J. Brown or is it Julio? I think it's

987
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,760
Speaker 1: a J. Brown, But I say that with very little

988
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: confidence because he was already playing reduced snaps and now

989
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 1: he's dealing with this illness. I wouldn't be surprised if

990
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 1: Julio Jones is on a snap count too, though, an

991
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:27,879
Speaker 1: older receiver coming off of a hamstring injury, and the

992
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: thing is The Bills have been the toughest matchup for

993
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,280
Speaker 1: receivers this year. And it's not like they haven't played

994
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 1: good receivers. They've played Tyreek Hill and Terry McLaurin and

995
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks and a couple of others, and none of

996
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,399
Speaker 1: them topped fifteen points against them. Only Mikole Harderman has.

997
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: I think the Bills with their safeties are really good

998
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,359
Speaker 1: at stopping the deep ball. I think it'll be more

999
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 1: uh you know, underneath and catch after the run, which

1000
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: I think better suits a J. Brown skill set than

1001
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 1: Julio Jones. I agree with that too. I'm going with

1002
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 1: with a J. Brown and this one too. I feel like, well,

1003
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 1: they get both of these guys going, but I think

1004
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 1: they especially need to get a J. Brown going to

1005
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 1: really get this offense kicking into full gear. And we

1006
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 1: haven't really seen that yet. Um, the target share has

1007
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 1: sort of been there. Uh. What we've loved about a. J.

1008
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: Brown his first couple of years is that he's been

1009
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 1: incredibly efficient with a relatively small number of opportunities, and

1010
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:19,840
Speaker 1: that hasn't happened this year. I do expect, though, that

1011
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 1: it's going to get better. Um, you know, we always

1012
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 1: talk about regression and this would be I guess the

1013
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 1: term is positive regression. I feel like we need another

1014
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: term like progression. Can we call it that? I don't

1015
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 1: know anyway, I think this is an opportunity for A J.

1016
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,800
Speaker 1: Brown to step up and have one of those A J.

1017
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 1: Brown type games that we have not seen from neither

1018
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:42,319
Speaker 1: he nor Julio Jones this year? Um, which side up? Are?

1019
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: Are you at all worried that we haven't seen anything

1020
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: big from either one of those guys this year? A bit? Yeah,

1021
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 1: like like we had one good yardage game out of

1022
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 1: Julio Jones. Um, I am more concerned about that hamstring

1023
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 1: because he's, you know, getting up there in age. I

1024
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 1: still think both of them will be fine down the stretch,

1025
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 1: but it doesn't fully make sense to me. I think

1026
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: one thing mark is that we kind of overlooked was

1027
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 1: the change of offensive coordinator here because it has hurt

1028
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill and both of these receivers. Whereas Ryan's Tannehill,

1029
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: like when he had Arthur Smith, you could set your

1030
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 1: watch by that guy like he was gonna throw multiple

1031
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns almost every week, give you around twenty fantasy points.

1032
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 1: He has multiple passing touchdowns in just one game all

1033
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 1: year so far. I remember I tweeted my concerns earlier

1034
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 1: in the year, and a whole bunch of people, mostly

1035
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: Raider fans, jumped in my mentions to say, well, it's

1036
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: Todd Downing's fault, because Todd Downing was once the o

1037
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 1: C of the Raiders and things did not go well

1038
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 1: that year offensively for for the Silver and Black. So

1039
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:41,840
Speaker 1: they told me that I should have known better because

1040
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: this is what Todd Downing does. I didn't know better.

1041
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 1: I didn't know that's what Todd Downing does. So anyway,

1042
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 1: it should be an interesting one to watch, though. We

1043
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 1: will certainly come back and talk about the fallout from

1044
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 1: that and get you ready for the upcoming week once

1045
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: we come back on Wednesday, because in the meantime for us,

1046
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 1: that is it. We are done. We appreciate you hanging

1047
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,399
Speaker 1: out with the NFL Fantasy Football show. You know the drill.

1048
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 1: Tell two friends to tell two friends rate review, and

1049
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 1: remember a fly without wings should be called a walk.

1050
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 1: Be safe, take care of yourselves, get vaccinated, and we

1051
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: will see you on Wednesday. Wow, Wong Wong, I'm don't

1052
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm don't co
